Liber Sodalitas: Erzsak's Drake Riders

Erzsak’s Drake Riders is a mercenary company of warriors-for-hire featuring a small army of foot soldiers and specialists, all acting as support for the company’s shock troops, the firedrake riders. Founded by a discontented ex-soldier named Ludvel Erzsak, the group has evolved from a one-time adventuring band to a grand organization with both might and reputation.

Erzsak's Drake Riders details a drop-in mercenary company for your d20 Fantasy game, complete with history, tenets, organizational structures, ways of hiring, ways of joining, iconic and generic NPCs. It also includes 14 new feats dealing with mounted combat in general—from Mount Specialization to Riding Mastery, from Great Trample to Deathly Charge—and a new creature, the fierce firedrake. Written by Daniel M. Perez, artwork by Marcio Fiorito.

Liber Sodalitas (The Book of Societies) presents generic drop-in organizations for your d20 Fantasy game complete with new rules and ways of introducing them into your campaign. Look for further releases in the Liber Sodalitas line from HMP.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
